A Collective Soul group member spoke to the crowd thankin them of comin out to the event.

Hundreds of registered attendees came out to the FREE event.

Collective Soul was a smorgasbord of all type of rhythms.

Blowin da horn!

BUT THE HIGHLIGHTED PERFORMER (beside the older whiet guy dancing) was

Drummer ALIen (Warren) who tours with the event.

He was charismatic and on fire!

Picture the Tanzmanian Devil on drums!

He was all over the place, literally!

He stood up on his drum case and became the King of the World!

He took off his shirt and became even more fiery and in synch with the drum gods!

He went up front to the stage to rock with the crowd, even throwing drumsticks to the crowd. We thought for sure he was going to dive in the crowd, but didnt.
